TURBINELLA scaBrosa. Turd. testd ovato-fusiformi, an- 
fractibus longitudinaliter forticostatis, transversim liris

THE scaBrous TURBINELLA. Shell ovately fusiform, 
whorls longitudinally strongly ribbed, transversely 
very closely encircled with narrow scabrous ridges, 
alternately smaller ; yellowish cream-colour. 
Hab. ? 
Peculiar in sculpture, being very closely corded through- 
out with fine scabrous ridges alternately larger and smaller. 
Fig. 61 a and @ represents a specimen of 7. gemmata, 
figured at Pl. II. Fig.5, in finer condition, the smoothness of 
which there described, proves to have arisen from the shell 
being worn. The whorls of 7. gemmata are concentrically 
stoutly ribbed, whilst they are closely encircled throughout 
with nodulous ridges and fine strie. The colour is a deep 
orange-yellow, with an irregularly waved streak of black, 
dotted here and there with pure opal-white, passing behind 
the ribs from the sutures to the base.

THE scoRCcHED TuRBINELLA. Shell fusiform, sutures 
of the spire rather impressed, whorls somewhat 
rounded, longitudinally broadly ribbed, transversely 
finely roughly ridged, keeled in the middle ; yellowish, 
tinged and banded with bumt-brown spots at the 
ribs, base stained with black,

Distinguished in some measure by the black stain at 
the base, and dark spots between the ribs which occur only 
next the sutures.

PHILBERT’s TURBINELLA. Shell ovately fusiform, whorls 
flatly slanting round the upper part, transversely 
ridged and striated, longitudinally somewhat obtusely 
ribbed, ribs nine in number, close-set, plicately 
tubereled at the angle; reddish-brown, ridges and 
sometimes the ribs here and there white, aperture 
pinkish violet.

Hab. Philippine Islands ; Cuming. 
It is not improbable, so far as may be gathered from de- 
scriptions, that the 7. Philberti and tessellata of M. Recluz 
are varieties of the very interesting species here figured, 
collected by Mr. Cuming in the Philippine Islands. In 
some specimens a dark chesnut-brown appears to be the 
ground colour of the shell, which is encircled here and 
there with sharp white lines and ridges; in others the 
longitudinal ribs are also white, and the chesnut-brown 
only appears in tessellated patches in the interstices.

THE THREADED TURBINELLA. Shell somewhat elongately 
fusiform, whorls rounded, longitudinally stoutlyribbed, 
corded throughout with prominent transverse ridges, 
interior of the aperture ridged; whitish, transverse 
ridges chesnut-brown along the summit.

Easily distinguished by the thread-like style of pattern, 
arising from the summit of the ridges being sharply stained 
with chesnut-brown upon a light ground.
